I don't think you understand things.
"Stampeder" is NOT a derogatory name for a Calgarian, it is (at worst) a nickname for someone who is going to the stampede. Whatever reasoning you're trying to use for that, you're wrong.
"Redskin" IS a derogatory name for Native Americans.
Nobody would accept the "Washington (N-words)", nor should they accept the Washington Redskins.
Grow up.
